A is for Age – of my sister’s dog? Okay. 2.

V if for Vegetable you love – Love, love, love green beans and have them frequently for dinner. I just loves me da green beans.
W is for Worst trait – Because I couldn’t choose the worst of the worst, I called downstairs to My Beloved:
“What’s my worst trait!?”
There was a long pause. Then a very considered:
“I … don’t … kno-o-o-ow …”
Then:
“Well, your worst trait is setting your husband up for an all-day fight on a holiday weekend.”
So let’s go with that.
X – is for Xtra Credit, did you ever do it in school? – Hmm … I was geeky enough to do it, but also geeky enough not to need to do it. Sweet Moses.
